...platform calling for change in campus life, a contrast from the activist council that preceded her reign. She successfully campaigned for cable television in House common rooms. While she was president, the council instituted the Fly-By lunch convenience in Loker and made progress with universal keycard access. Another major effort instituted by the College during Stewart's reign was the establishment of a $25,000 fund for student organizations, giving the 250-plus groups at Harvard a much-needed financial boost. Being president of course, wasn't all fun and games...
...Rawlins, vice-president in 1996-97 and president in 1997-98, furthered Hyman's work to make the council more activist. During her time in student government, the council spoke out on same-sex commitment ceremonies in Memorial Church and lack of women and minorities in the faculty. One major thing she did gain from her experiences was a sense of connections: "That sense of direct accountability and the excitement that came with moving toward our common goals continues to inspire me." Rawlins currently works for a new family foundation in Boston...

On Monday, she'll board another plane and return to the client, the team room and the scramble to prepare a "major, major" presentation only five weeks away. But Wang can't be bothered with any of that now; she has a plane to catch...
...Shemmer lived in New York growing up, but was born in Tel Aviv--there's an Israeli flag in his bedroom and a military uniform in his closet. A psychology major at Penn, his only real business experience in college came almost by chance: one summer he found a job at an Israeli Internet start-up, as a secretary, but the strapped company promoted him on the second day. Shemmer's job at Broadview was equally unplanned. Unlike better-known investment banks, Broadview limits its business to the high-tech sector--Internet start-ups, Web-based companies, computer firms.
